We have a large screen up at every school board meeting where they show slides about projected budget items, video from a great play a sports team made, a clip of a musical event, etc. I am sure if we had a “Dave Pounder” on our school board a computer wiz kid would hack in and start playing one of his movies! They've done it before just not with porn. (Actually it was amusing, they changed the “projected school budget and state aid” video to a video of the running debt clock! These little things keep me in the district!

I cured my daughter of saying “like” every other word by letting her get to the end of a long appeal for money to go shopping and to a movie with friends by saying “I like didn't understand, like, umm what like you said.” I did this several times. It forced her to not say “like” and not talk back when I told her to ask again so I could understand. She couldn't get all mad and storm off or no movie and mall with her friends! Her grammar has greatly improved!

Sadly, the vocabulary carries into adulthood. However, I found this amusing when I read it a few weeks ago. The subject of the article is a Sports Illustrated model from the Philadelphia area.

When Hoopes was 14 and a freshman at Central Bucks High School East, her mother enrolled her in the Barbizon school of modeling in Ardmore. She was always kind of tall, said mom Theresa, and "I just wanted her to learn how to speak without using the word like so much."
